RADIOSTAND.

Application filed January 15, 1926. Serial No. 81,421.

My present invention has for its object to provide an extremely simpleand highly efficient radio stand, and to this end, it consists of thenovel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described anddefined in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, likecharacters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings: 1

Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the radio stand;

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same;

Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is a detail view principally in horizontal section, taken on theline 4.--4 of Fig. 1, on an enlarged scale.

The improved radio stand comprises a top member 5, a bottom member 6,end members 7 an intermediate partition 8, and supporting legs 9. Saidtop member 5 is supported from the bottom member 6 by the'end members 7and partition 8, and which partition extends between the end members 7and top and bottom members 5 and 6, respectively, and is intermediatelylocated to divide the stand into open front and rear compartments 10 and11, respectively. The bottom member 6, forward of the intermediatepartition 8, is cut away at 12 to leave knee room for an operatorsitting in front of the cabinet.

The top member 5 afiords ample space for supporting a radio cabinetthereon, and the compartment 11 afiords suitable storage space for radiobatteries. In connection with the above described radio stand, I providea stand or pedestal for a loud speaker used in connection with a radiosupported on said stand, which is made the subject-matter of a copendingapplication executed of even date herewith.

The supporting legs 9 are detachably secured to the bottom member 6 bycouplings of the type disclosed and broadly claimed in my United StatesLetters Patent No. 1,292,090, entitled Leg coupling, issued January 21,1919. Each leg coupling comprises a bracket 13 secured to the under sideof the bottom member 6 at one of the corners thereof and having anentrance passageway 14 with a contracted lock notch, a headed stud 15 inthe form of a screw secured to the respective leg 9 and inserted througha passageway 14 and interlocked with the lock notch thereof, and a lockscrew 16 having threaded engagement with the bracket 13 and extending inthe path of movement of. the headed stud 15 to hold the same in saidlock notch. By loosening the screws 16, the legs 9 may be easilydetached from the stand to reduce the stand to compact form for shippingand storage.

The above described device has been put into actual commercial use andhas proven highly efiicient for the purpose had in View.

l Vhat I claim is: I

1. A radio stand comprising top and bottom members and end memberstherebetween, an intermediate partition between said end membersdividing the stand into front and rear compartments, the latter. ofwhich affords battery storage space, and supporting legs for the stand,said front compartment being open and said bottom member, forward ofsaid partition, being cut away to leave knee space.

' 2. The structure defined claim 1 in which said rear compartment isopen.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
